David Moyes: We'll keep Wayne Rooney

The new boss will be face the media for the first time at a press conference at Old Trafford today.

Moyes is expected to insist that Rooney is going nowhere after talks took place between the club and Rooney's agent, Paul Stretford, where United made their position clear.

There are no plans for any talks about extending his contract, which still has two years to run.

A much-anticipated meeting between Rooney and Moyes on Wednesday did not materialise, although the pair did speak.

There was more chance for meaningful communication yesterday when Moyes conducted his first full training session, although it is difficult to imagine there's any chance the striker would get his hoped-for climbdown from the club over Ferguson's claim in May that he had asked to leave.

“Rooney has returned in good shape”

Rooney has returned in good shape though.

And with Neville and Giggs now settling into their new roles, the atmosphere is said to be positive as the clock ticks down towards departure on Wednesday for United's five-game summer tour of the Far East and Australia.
